Chapter 197 – Episode 197
The inside of my mouth tingled as if it had been chopped to pieces.
A murderer. Murderer…
Is there anything more brutal than that word? What’s scarier is that that might not be wrong.
‘Elixir number 2. If you complete this quest, a total of 3 times…’
Even though it was a replica, it was a potion containing God’s miracle.
By taking it twice, Yun Su-ah’s condition has definitely improved a lot. If there is progress in a disease that was said to be absolutely incurable, that is a miracle from God. If the doctors who diagnosed her saw Yun Su-ah as she is now, their eyes might roll, and they might want to dissect her first.
Nevertheless.
Yoon Su-ah’s physical strength was still no different from low quality. Just in case, she did a simple experiment on the stairs of her studio apartment. She was already out when her lady, who was emptying the trash can on the first floor, asked if she was filming a movie.
“I think she could definitely be dangerous,” She said.
“I’m not saying it exists, but it is dangerous. Well, I thought it was pretty good though. Are you crazy? “You’re going to ask someone in that condition to work?”
“Like that.”
Lee Woo-ju flinched at my voice mixed with earnestness and sorrow.
“He is a person who has been unable to do anything like that for 26 years.”
“… !”
“He was born with an unhealthy body and gave up everything for a long time.”
“So, that kind of look was possible…”
Lee Woo-joo, who was muttering, covers his mouth with both hands.
His face looked like he thought it was too terrible.
I don’t know what thoughts are going through my head right now. What is certain is that among them, there will be some terrible thoughts that you cannot bear to say out loud.
“It’s true that it’s unfortunate. “I am not so cold-blooded that I am not shaken even after hearing such circumstances.”
“Then…”
“But, that still doesn’t work. You’re telling me to embrace a bomb that might explode at any moment. “I’m not cold-blooded, but I’m also not a patient with safety insensitivity who puts my neck on the line.”
“Is it okay if I take responsibility for it?”
“I mean really, really…”
Lee Wu-ju stuck out his tongue.
“Hey. I know these are words that bring tears to your eyes. To put it bluntly, how much responsibility can they take?”
“…”
“That person collapsed while working here. So do you think it’s you who bears the most responsibility? No. It’s me, me! I’m not saying it’s the worst case scenario, but if you just fall down, you’re in trouble. Does it look funny that a young woman is the owner of a maid café? Since she is young, do you think she will be able to get up quickly even if she falls? “I put my life on the line here.”
“I don’t look at it funny.”
“But why are you taking responsibility, being reckless, and just spewing out words? What on earth do you believe? What about you, are you going to stand by and watch all day while that person works?”
I shook my head.
Because that was impossible. Nevertheless, when I did not give up, Lee Woo-joo started beating his chest in frustration.
At some point, the conversation turned into Lee Woo-joo persuading me.
“The talent of that woman mentioned earlier appears to be great, and it is true that she has some unfortunate circumstances. She said that if she came to work here, she would have to take care of the kids she was working with now. Even the customers who come here have to pay attention to that woman. Yes? Think about it. Do you think she would want to work there or visit there as a customer? “This isn’t even a cheap store.”
It was absolutely correct.
That’s why what I’m doing now was just unreasonable.
“Still, please ask.”
“Over there!”
“I will take responsibility.”
“No, so what is the responsibility…”
“I will take responsibility for your life as well.”
“… Yes?”
Lee Woo-joo was embarrassed.
I added quickly because I thought it was a mistake.
“In case a problem arises due to Su-ah. Whether the store goes down or your life goes down. Whatever it is, she will continue to compensate until he is satisfied.”
“Ah… Well, something like that. I was surprised again. “I was wondering what this person was saying all of a sudden.”
Lee Wu-ju flinched and cooled her face with her hand fan.
“Ha, really. Tsk. No, but. Why are you doing this? Why? It seems certain that the two are dating. Childhood friend? Have you been dating for about 20 years? “I am a fiancé chosen by my parents since I was young.”
“Yes?”
“… Oh, you don’t know this. No. Just, well, how long have you been dating?”
“Um, we started officially dating for about a month now?”
In an instant, the temperature dropped by about 5 degrees.
When I wondered why, Lee Woo-joo’s eyes looking at me were freezing.
“This guy is crazy, isn’t he?”
“…”
“Not a childhood friend, not a fiancé. It’s nothing. Would you do that for someone you’ve only been dating for a month? What the fuck, did you get hit hard in the back of the head? Or perhaps he was hypnotically brainwashed.”
Hypnotic brainwashing?
I’ve been feeling this since a while ago.
My conversation focus with this woman is slightly off. What’s different about a real otaku? It’s not like I haven’t watched animation at all. Why?
“Ugh! The words were a bit harsh. “I apologize for what I just did.”
“No, it’s okay.”
“So, in the end, she’s going to this extent for the sake of that woman who we’ve only been dating for a month. “Right?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“You’re a crazy romanticist.”
Hmm. I don’t think there’s anything that suits me more than that word.
Let’s keep our mouths shut for now.
If you misunderstand me, I’ll be grateful.
「Tsk tsk, tsk tsk, tsk tsk.」
Lee Woo-ju, who rolled her tongue in her mouth several times on her own, finally opened her mouth after much struggle.
“Huh, okay. All right. “If you say that much, I will let you work on a light trial basis.”
“Really?!”
“Yes, yes! Really, really! Well, you can stick to it for a few days and watch it, and if it doesn’t work, you can just cut it out.”
“That’s natural. “If you want, can I write you a memorandum?”
Lee Wu-ju, seeing me very excited, waved his hand.
“Ah, it’s okay, it’s okay. What is the memorandum? In the first place, I have no intention of asking them to take any responsibility. I feel burdened for no reason. Then, when that woman comes in and her store becomes a hit, people start to look at her for no reason. So that’s it.”
While I thought he was a good person in many ways, Lee Woo-joo reached out to me.
“Instead, have a drink with me next time. From what I saw earlier, it seemed like you listen well to other people’s stories. I like drinking with people like that. Because I’m the type of person who likes to talk, boom!”
A moment of confusion, wondering if that would be enough.
A system message appeared before my eyes.
[Yoon Su-ah’s Joy 3 / Let’s find her a job that suits her / Let’s find a part-time job and allow her to work. The quest has been completed.]
That’s it!
I smiled broadly and held her hand.
“As much as you want.”
* * *
Should I say it or not? Should I say it or not…
Without exaggerating, I think I thought about it more than 100 times while returning from the maid café, Mayworld, to my studio apartment.
To help her not be nervous, I think it would be okay to tell Yoon Su-ah that I finished talking to the maid café owner in advance. On the other hand, wouldn’t it be okay to leave it feeling like Yoon Su-ah took on the challenge herself and succeeded without saying anything? You’ll love it so much.
‘No. Let’s not do that.’
This is really a white lie.
If you do it that way and get caught, Yoon Su-ah will be even more upset, and looking at what Lee Woo-joo said earlier, she doesn’t seem to be particularly good at lying or acting.
Rather, at what timing should I give the elixir this time… Um.
「Beep beep beep!」
I entered the studio by entering the password of 5844, which even left a clear fingerprint on the door lock.
It’s lunchtime now, so it’s a long way before Ohana and Han Ae-bom get home from work.
Today, I take off my shoes, looking forward to seeing what kind of delicious lunch Yun Su-ah has prepared for me. Suddenly, Yoon Su-ah’s voice comes out from the side.
“Are you back, master?”
“I’ve been there… Yes?”
I just froze.
What did I just hear? You probably heard it wrong, right? Or have I returned to the maid café?
Out of confusion, I gathered my eyebrows in the middle and opened my mouth.
“Soo-ah, what did you just say?”
“You are back, master. “I said.”
“Hmm… Why, master?”
Unlike me who is embarrassed and doesn’t know what to do.
Suah Yoon answered with a very pure smile.
“Considering that I will be working at a maid café later, I thought it would be good to practice in advance.”
“Practice in advance… Good. But, what if it doesn’t work out?”
She ended up saying something completely different from what she had just thought. She was that embarrassed.
It’s not a maid café, and wouldn’t everyone be like this when they come home and find a woman calling them master? Rather than feeling good, I felt embarrassed.
“I think it would be very disappointing if it doesn’t work out. Wouldn’t it be okay to do so?”
“Yes? How… ?”
The strong confidence in Suah Yoon’s voice made me ask again.
I felt it while talking to Lee Woo-joo today. It wouldn’t be that easy for Yoon Su-ah to get a job at a maid café, right?
“That’s right, Hyunwoo told me to work at a maid café. Oh, it’s not Hyunwoo, it’s the owner. “Master.”
What is this…
“I will definitely be working at a maid café. Since Hyeonwoo appointed me, I am sure I will do very well.”
I got goosebumps.
I wondered if this person had also seen the system messages I had seen. Otherwise, how can you say something like that?
“Have you seen it?”
“Which one?”
“No, it’s nothing. Rather, as Su-a said, as soon as Su-a gets her health certificate, she will be able to work at the maid café.”
I explained her various circumstances to Suah Yoon.
Starting with the fact that I have already finished talking with the maid café owner, I am always with him when he commutes to and from work.
After hearing her story, Suah Yoon put her hands together in front of her chest.
“It means that the master used his strength for me this time too. Thank you. “I will prepare even harder to meet those expectations.”
“Is it really necessary to call him ‘master’?”
“Why not? “I think that if I prepare to this level, I will feel less sorry for the people who will be working with me at the store.”
Pfft. If you say it like that, I have nothing to say.
“You’re not just doing this to me, are you?”
“Of course. “If Hana and Aebom come, I will call them master from today until they go to work.”
“Aha, well, if that’s the case.”
I breathe a sigh of relief.
Suah Yoon continued.
“However, the only master who can order me to physically serve him is Mr. Hyunwoo.”
A sigh tried to come out, but then went back into the nose.
“Yes?”
“Please, the owner, please educate me thoroughly until then so that I can do a great job at the maid café.”
I swallowed my saliva and looked at Yoon Su-ah.
I guess it’s because as I kept hearing the word ‘master’, the feeling of resistance gradually disappeared.
Strangely, this situation is starting to suck now.
“How may I serve you, master? Just give me an order. “I am the master’s maid.”
Yoon Su-ah’s smile, which I always thought was pure, seemed quite bewitching today.
